Casino hotel MGM Macau is now under fire for allegedly violating the Special Administrative Region’s ban on smoking in public places.

In a press statement, Macau’s Health Bureau announced that the agency has rounded up a total of 9 individuals caught smoking in unauthorized areas inside the casino. The violators were slapped with fines by health authorities.

But what concerns the Health Bureau even more was the fact that MGM Macau, which is operated by MGM China Holdings, Ltd., failed to comply with the city’s rules on smoking in public places. The health team noticed that the hotel didn’t have ‘no smoking’ signs in some areas inside its casino

“During the inspection it was noticed that some areas within the casino did not have the ‘no smoking’ signs required under the existing regulations,” said the Health Bureau. The bureau stated it has issued an official notification and that it would be following up the case.
